New Members: You are allowed multiple accounts!

Just to clear up a common misconception, you are in fact allowed more than one account!

I remember being terrified when I decided to get another account. I thought I would get found out. I figured that it was a bad thing.
I'd heard about other popular users having a test account, but I wasn't sure how many I could have in total. I thought that if it wasn't a new account for tests, I would get in trouble. So now, I'm bringing the answer.

You are allowed to have as many accounts as you want, as long as the accounts are not used to:
Confuse other users (like pretending you are not the same person)
Artificially Love-It projects (add a Love-It from every account)
To unlawfully access accounts (hacking)
To game the community in general

Remember:
> Your new account will be blank.
> You will have zero posts on the forums.
> You will be 'New Scratcher' on the forums and will have to face restrictions. The Scratch Team will not upgrade you, no matter how many times you mention you have another account.
> Keep security in mind - make a different password for each account. Also, making your password the name of another account is not a good idea!

So don't be scared to go and make a bunch of accounts for you to use! I made about five spare accounts yesterday, and to prove it's okay to have multiple accounts, I will post here from them so you will know who I am!

You can use this thread to name multiple accounts so there is less confusion or you can discuss multiple accounts and ask questions.

Hope this is helpful, please leave feedback and suggest improvements.

I had a sibling go who went on to scratch, and created like 20 usernames...


Your music tastes are bad, therefore your argument is irrelevant.

Not everyone realises they are allowed to make another account, or, in ruffle's case, 30.

Some people might think making an account from the same IP is bad, when the only way it could be bad is if you use it to avoid a ban, or game the community.

Though it would be easy to hack his new account, as long as both accounts share the same IP.

Yes, good information, although I already knew this.  big_smile  I don't really think having another account is really necessary, though.

supermassive is mine, so is Electrocutor.

I have more, but they're being used as sock puppets, so I won't tell you their names.

Oh, yeah, Star_the_Fox is actually a sock puppet xD [/lies]

Yeah, I use my accounts for... uh... tests and school stuff. And confusing my real-life friends.

My other accounts are: Hi-Top_Runners, Planet-Jedward, Vanilla-Ice,
John-and-Edward and a few others.

Ice ice baby (x2)
All right stop collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop yo I don't know
Turn off the lights and I'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle
Dance go rush to the speaker that booms
I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when I play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it you better gain weight
You better hit bull's eye the kid don't play
If there was a problem yo I'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it

I've had +/-40-50 acounts. There are about 2-3 acounts of those that I use and remember the password for.

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.
